LET IT OUT

269 | Ryan Brunty of Depressed Monsters Streetwear on depression, creativity and building community

Episode Summary

Ryan Brunty is an artist and the founder of Depressed Monsters, a streetwear apparel company and visual art project. I relate to Ryan a lot and in this conversation which was recorded live in our lounge at the Emerge Music Festival we talk about how we each feel depression— a topic we haven’t covered much on this podcast.
We get into nostalgia, how having something to look forward to helps, communicating depression and anxiety in relationships, and more. I'm also really excited to share some really big announcements in this episode! Enjoy this news I’m letttting outtt and the episode with Ryan which is about depression but not depressing.

-I hurt my foot and it's been hard to walk and I can't do fitness classes. The universe is telling me REST and WRITE and feel my feelings. And it's so uncomfortable. and it's jarring. So I'm just trying to follow that right now and rest and take the subway.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Ned. Ned offers wonderful hemp products made from organic materials in small batches to help with anxiety and insomnia relief, natural pain relief, as an anti-inflammatory, and so much more . I have tried so many CBD products but Ned is one of the best! They extract their oils from hemp flowers using a slow and mindful process, and infuse each batch with binaural beats and happy loving energy. I love that on their dosage instructions on the bottle it reminds me to take 3 deep breaths before using. It’s such a grounding process and I’m so excited to share their wonderful products with Let It Out Listeners.
